We are delighted to see this website coming from the Renal Interest Group - we regularly get calls from patients, and their families, seeking information on the renal diet and this will be a great resource.

I feel this informative website will empower patients to look at their own diet and strive to improve their quality of life. I wish to thank all involved in getting this of the ground.
